Elisabeth Schwarzkopf by Alan Jefferson

The celebrated soprano, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, was pre-eminent in both opera and Lieder for more than 30 years. This biography explores her art in detail, sympathetically yet not uncritically, and provides an account of her life, including consideration of her ambivalent conduct in Nazi Germany, her relationships with colleagues such as Furtwaengler, Boehm and Karajan, and her marriage with the English recording impresario, Walter Legge. The book also contains a list of Schwarzkopf's performances and a selected discography. Alan Jefferson's other books include studies of Richard Strauss, Sir Thomas Beecham and Lotte Lehmann.
